Boy wonder residing within
How long it’s been since we spoke
Your laughter breathes weight off my shoulders
Your innocent smile shifts the world’s boulders.
Many are the given paths
To those who wish to seek
But he who follows all roads laid out
Follows none to want and to need.
In days long gone, you were jubilant
Spirited, strong of will, carefree
Not a care in the world for her darker recesses
Not a worry to stomach or plead.
Yet here you are, boy wonder
In this hour that pivots
Moving the needle closer to our goals
A Unicorn horn for life’s favoured foals.
Boy wonder show me the way
Naive and fickle you are not
Brave, resilient, a combative soul
Our hour comes upon twilight’s toll.
